"Short film? An allusion to the owner's former profession. Cabernet Sauvignon takes center stage (70%), while Carignan plays second fiddle to this very pale pink cuvée. Set against a backdrop of candy and citrus fruits, the wine develops in a dynamic, straightforward manner. And not so short. (Le Guide Hachette des Rosés 2016-2017) A lovely cuvée at an affordable price!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2018 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
The estate offers a wide range of wines, all at a good level, that play more on elegance and aromatic precision than power. The 2014, 2015 and 2016 are further successes for the estate, in all three colors.

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Domaine rated 2**Stars (Successful production)
About the domain :
Acquiring an old farmhouse and its 8 hectares of vines in 1989, Yves Rousset-Rouard set out to produce a great terroir wine and to promote the Côtes du Luberon appellation - now known as "Luberon". This goal seems to have been achieved 20 years later, thanks to hard work and a very selective choice of plots. His son Alexis has been helping him with the estate since 1995. Situated on the northern slopes of the Luberon Massif, the 40 hectares in production comprise more than 65 parcels, all planted with 14 different grape varieties, although Syrah and Grenache are the mainstay. On the estate, you'll find the Musée du Tire-bouchon (corkscrew museum), with 1,200 items dating from the 17th century to the present day.
